Front of print

An extra large intaglio print on deckle edged paper. It shows two figures sitting in a cartoonish, bowl-shaped boat with a flotation device, fish, fins, a rudder, and a flag. The left figure has shorter hair and is holding a rowing oar. The right figure has longer hair, and is holding a knife and a fishing pole in each hand. Both are grinning widely. The style of the artwork is heavily contoured and hatched, with exaggerated, knobby features. Beneath them is a black box with the words "GONE FISHIN'" with two fishing hooks, subtracted from the black box in thick font.
